“We broke our tent down in the rain and were heading back home but wanted something for the drive. Everything else looked closed but here is this fantastic guy serving amazing coffee and warm blueberry muffins.The Coffee Tin was such an absolute treat.“
“I found this place next to the road and I stopped by curiosity. I found the best pumpkin pie bread with pecans . I want the recipe because is something out of this world. So chewy and thick and I can taste all the ingredients: the pumpkin, brown sugar, pecans etc oh Lord. Whoever made this deserves an award.“
“The employees are great. They went above and beyond to accommodate my order. I was there with my little 4 pound Chihuahua who I had just brought home from vet. McDonald's being her favorite place thinking I take her there maybe she might perk up and forgive me for taking her to the vet. The employees showed her so much love and attention I think that was the best medicine. I can not thank them enough for treating my little fur baby like a Princess.“

“Such a cute little spot tucked into a shopping center in Banner Elk, NC. They are serving up coffee beverages, teas, and smoothies. They had a variety of local made baked good and they have live music some days! Would be such a cute spot to come watch some live music.“
“Had coffee and a sandwich, both of which were very good. Nice shop with connections to the school behind them. The school is a children's home and the young lady that waited on us lives there. She came out and talked with us while we were eating, telling us a little about the school.“
“Well. I ordered the only thing that I would not recommend. The Tuna Melt. While the Tuna itself was tasty, it was scarce and put between two pieces of dry toast. Unlike any Tuna Melt I've ever had in all our travels. My onion rings were hard, very greasy, and dark. Hubby ordered the Mediterranean Omelet and said it was amazing, while my son thoroughly enjoyed his Breakfast Burrito. We eat here every time we visit the area because their food is so good. I've had the Salmon Omelet before, and it was delicious. They're only open until 1:00, so plan accordingly. Their sister location, also called Bella's, has the best Italian food and pizza in the area of you have a craving.“
“Everyone was closing due to weather. Some places were. Very rude about it. Your guy working the drive thru tonight was very nice, very friendly and we were very appreciative that he stayed to help people. Thank you and your team for going the extra mile tonight!!“
“We were passing through and saw the giant red sign for Big Mike's coffee and decided to stop. I love the drive-thru, the staff exceptionally kind, and most definitely have to recommend the nutcracker and the bear cub lattes for anyone interested!“
